Small Domain Estimation: A Conditional Analysis
小域估计:条件分析
In estimating means, totals, and other parameters for small domains of a finite population, the survey statistician is usually faced with a domain sample size that is random rather than controlled at the selection stage. Often a sensible approach is to make design-based inference conditionally on the realized sample size in the domain (nd ). In this article, we suggest and analyze some small domain estimators and their design-based conditional confidence intervals. The…
